Glogster review
This tool can really be used for online activities. It can be used as guided instructions but I didn’t see any way that once something is created, no one else can access/post their own ideas in the same glog. I made an example to show how I would use it. I would use it for a visual worksheet. Give them a picture and a couple questions and have them write it on their own separate sheet of paper. I wish that it could allow students to make comments and share ideas because that would allow the students interact more and make it more of an online activity.
The use of this is very easy. Yes, you need a password and username but it’s free. There is an upgrade available for money but the free one works just as well. It gives you a board to put whatever you want on it. Pictures, links, videos, and texts you name it. You can change the size and color of the majority of things they have some clipart to choose from as well. You receive a profile with this tool and it shows your glogs and any other information you desire. The glogs that people post on here are used mostly as an informational slide. Students will be able to learn specific information and if desired, have work involved with it.
I created a guided instructional worksheet. Students will look at the picture (Hansel and Gretel) and answer a few questions based on comprehension of literary text and then create/predict what is going to happen in the story. This will test the students on their comprehension of the story, how to dissect the story and also them to create something of their own.
I enjoyed using this tool and had fun with it. As explained before – it can be used as a directional worksheet but not as an online activity.
